Common Symptoms of Child Sexual Abuse | Saprea

Learn about some of the common trauma symptoms of child sexual abuse.
Survivors of child sexual abuse may experience a range of symptoms that originate with the trauma they experienced as children. Childhood trauma, especially trauma that lasts for an extended period of time or leaves the basic human needs of safety and love unmet, can cause toxic stress.
Some of these symptoms may include:
- Sleep issues
- Panic attacks
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Triggers
- Chronic physical pain
- Dysfunctional relationships
- Difficult relationship with the body
- Sexual intimacy issues
- Feelings of shame
- Communication issues
- Unhealthy behaviors
- Emotional numbness
And more.
We understand the challenge of living with these symptoms each day. Our work focuses on providing survivors of child sexual abuse tools and strategies to better manage your symptoms.
At Saprea, we liberate individuals and society from child sexual abuse and its lasting impacts. We have services that help child sexual abuse survivors find healing from the traumatic effects that have often followed them into adulthood, as well as resources for parents and caregivers to learn how to lower the risk of child sexual abuse in their own homes and communities.
